Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
WASHINGTON, May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden Monday shuffled his staff, announcing long-time aide and spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander would be leaving.
Alexander, who plans to practice law, was scheduled to leave at the end of the month and be succeeded by Kendra Barkoff, the vice president's office said. Barkoff recently worked as a press spokeswoman for the Interior Department.
"From the Senate to the White House, for the last five years, Elizabeth has been by my side as a trusted adviser," Biden said in a statement. "Together, we've logged a lot of miles, and through it all she's been tough, determined and loyal. Her energy, intellect, and professionalism will be missed enormously, even as I'm excited for her to start the next chapter of her career."
